It looks interesting, but how many films do we have to see that depicts Black people living like this? Not all of us are enticed by street life or gangs. It is like the message is being sent that no matter where Black people live, they are surrounded by violence. So far:
1) Boyz N Da Hood-USA
2) City of God-Brasil
3) Tsotsi- South Africa
4) Attack the Block- England
and now Blacks in Colombia? I am kind of tired of this.
